LONDON – In July 2011, the Fitch agency raised Romania’s credit rating, bringing it back into the range recommended for investments. The country remains financially fragile and the supply of credit may prove a limiting factor to expansion, both in the economy overall and more particularly in the real estate sector.

New construction projects are beginning to emerge and activity in the building industry will pick up through the coming five years. However the recent government turmoil will impact investor confidence in the country.

New discounted market research "Romania Real Estate Report Q3 2012" developed by Business Monitor International (BMI) examines the commercial office, retail and industrial segments throughout the country in the context of the recent government collapse.

With a focus on the principal cities of Bucharest, Brasov and Cluj-Napoca, the report covers the rental market performance in terms of rates and yields over the past 18 months and examines how best to maximise returns in the commercial real estate market, while minimising investment risk and exploring the impact of the eurozone crisis on a market already characterised by austerity.
